Last week, RIM kicked off a closed beta for BlackBerry Software 6.0, which will be the PC counterpart to their brand new handheld operating system. Some enterprising haxxorz have freed the Desktop Software from its NDA-bound prison, and are now sharing it with the world – go ahead and get downloading at any of the…
If you’re a die-hard BlackBerry fan and power user, be glad you live where you do — unless you live in the UAE. Apparently, the laws and regulations there don’t play too kindly with BlackBerry services, so there is a chance that the mobile devices may be banned in the future. Part of the reason…
A quick one here for all of the BlackBerry users out there. If you like to ‘tweet’ on the go, the very popular Twitter client ‘UberTwitter‘ was recently updated to Beta 8, and is available for download. No official changelog has been made available as of yet, but from what I can tell there’s a…
An analyst from Frost & Sullivan is claiming that RIM’s 4G BlackBerry (code-named Triton) will be launched in December, include 4G and “a 5.0 megapixel camera with both front and back imaging”.

So the iPhone 4, EVO 4G and Droid X haven’t really enticed you enough to commit to an overpriced smartphone plan and a contract. Good for you! Because MetroPCS is offering up a great deal on the BlackBerry Curve 8530. Sure, it’s not the fanciest smartphone on the market and you won’t be playing Predators…
Just a quick note here, but it’s a good one if you’re a Google Voice for BlackBerry user. Turns out that Google Voice for BlackBerry has been updated to version 0.2.0.2. While just a small incremental update, it does include some handy new features. Perhaps the most notable of which is the ability to check…
Ever since Steve Jobs addressed the iPhone 4 Antennagate issue, many a BlackBerry user has cried foul. They didn’t believe the testing results that Apple carried out on their own terms.
